Once again, they spent a ton of money and the "proved" it was better through computer simulations.

Heart-warming I'm sure for the different levels of Army Materiel Command but not at all reassuring for the men going "outside the wire".

I was assigned to the Joint Service Small Arms Program (JSSAP) some time ago and I remember all of the scurrilous gyrations they went through to "prove" that the 9mm was far more devastating than the .45. Integrity isn't part of the process in today's Pentagon.

Well, as mentioned above, this guy did real-world tests on it and concluded it is in fact better: http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/testing-army-m855a1-standard-ball-cartridge
I’d do my own tests if/when I can get my grubby little hands on a case of the stuff.

I’m eager to see your real-world tests showing it sucks as bad as you indicate.
